Morning Glories

Late in the spring, knitSB and I decided to plant some wild flowers in a garden area in the yard. He selected three colors of morning glories that we were adding to the chain link fence. I thought this was a great idea. The morning glories would climb up and cover the fence. The image this brought to my mind was wonderful. We bought 8 packets of seeds and planted them. They got watered occasionally. June and July passed without having any blooms on these plants. The end of August brought a few blooms. Finally, in September, we finally have more blooms.


I think we planted too many seeds and the leaves are overwhelming the blooms. I paused the morning I snapped this photo. The colors mingle beautifully in my vision. I like the twist of the vines around themselves.

About 6 weeks ago I was out in the cold at a local shopping center and stepped into a gardening store. I was feeling a bit low because if the extended cold. I had a nice conversation with one of the shop workers. I left with a bag of bulbs to force.

I put them in the pots and waited.
and waited.

About two weeks ago the bulbs started to bloom. I have them in our bathroom. They are beautiful to see when getting out of the shower.

I need spring to come.
